Correct Answer: a bike dropped off


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : In this context, the phrasal verb "dropped off" is the most suitable choice. It accurately conveys the action of leaving or depositing an item, which aligns with the intended meaning of the sentence. The preposition "off" complements the verb "dropped" to form the phrasal verb, creating a grammatically correct and idiomatic expression for describing the man leaving the box outside the building.

So, the correct sentence would be: "An unidentified man on a bike dropped off the box outside the building".
